Configuration file sample tasks

Use these sample tasks to implement configuration files for zSecure Visual.

Procedure

  1. Example 1: Prepare automated setup and configuration with one server for multiple clients
    1. Start IBM® Security zSecure Visual.
    2. Select File > Configure from the main menu.
    3. Select Export and confirm you are going to prepare configuration files.
    4. Edit the server definitions using the Add, Edit , and Delete functions until you have only the server definition you want to configure on the target machines.

      Specify only Name, HelpContact, Server IP address or name and Server Port. Leave the Client ID field blank, because this field needs to be unique for each target machine. In this example, Local Host and Local Port are also left blank.

    5. Click OK and save the configuration file as setup2.cfg. Now the configuration file is finished.
    6. On each target machine run this command: 
      c2racvn setup2.cfg
    7. After completing these steps, specify the correct Client ID and Initial Password on the target machine.
  2. Example 2: Add a new server to multiple clients
